Why I Hate Blastwave's Package Manager
20 Mar 2007- When running in upgrade mode, there's no way to turn off endless repetitions of "Do you want to remove this package?" Since I asked you to upgrade, the answer is yes.
- Amusingly different names for packages depending on the context:
$ pkg-get foo
Can't install foo; need newer version of libbar.
$ pkg-get libbar
No such package.
$ pkg-get -a |grep bar
Barlib The libraries of bar.
- Hidden abilities, like the ability to upgrade selectively if you want. Whee — doesn't say so, but
pkg-get -u foo
does work. Supported? Who knows?
(Edit: corrected name of Blastwave's package manager. So much for the moral high ground…:-)
